Local choreographer and dancer Joel Myers wants to move you. Along with a cadre of professional body-movers, he will do just that when he presents “The Joel Show II†at the Annie Wright Theater Saturday.
For those wondering, “The Joel Show II†is all about its creator, Joel Myers. Well, sort of. The seven-piece dance extravaganza features his choreographic creations and two individual works by the man himself. But the rest find their expression in a crowd of local movers, including two performances by Myers’s students. The first, entitled “Drop,†is a beautiful, frantic joke at the expense of those giddy pep-squad queens we all remember from high-school. The second, “Where Hope Begins,†requires Myers’ students to sync body, mind and soul, and express that unity in movement.
“I’ve seen it a million times, and every time, it moves me,†he says.
“The Joel Show II†kicks off MLKBallet’s “Move†series of summer performances, which will help raise funds for the organization’s tuition-free dance program. It was organizations like MLK that helped Myers start dancing, he says. â€" Paul Schrag
